PRECAUTIONS
This system is designed for use with vehicles equipped with fuel-injected,
gasoline engines with automatic transmissions only.
SAFETY FIRST!
Never remotely start your vehicle indoors, with the keys in the ignition or unless the transmission
is in park. A periodic safety check is recommended to ensure that your system is in proper working
order.
DO NOT use mechanical wiring connections, such as crimp or snap together wire connectors.
Instead, follow the instructions on page 3-4.
DO NOT disconnect the battery if the vehicle has an anti-theft-coded radio or is equipped with
an airbag. Doing so may cause a warning light to be displayed which may require a trip to the
dealer to be corrected.
DO NOT leave the interior or exterior lights on for an extended period of time as it may cause
battery drain. Remove the dome light fuse from the vehicle’s fuse box. NOTE: Starter systems do
not work well with a partially discharged battery.
WARNING!
GENERAL MOTORS REAR WHEEL DRIVE VEHICLES AND DODGE DAKOTAS
All General Motors rear wheel drive vehicles and Dodge Dakotas built prior to 1996 do not have
an electrical neutral safety switch. They have a mechanical neutral safety switch. The mechanical
neutral safety switch operates as follows.
a)The key will only turn to the start position when the gear selector is in park or neutral.
b)The key can only be removed from the ignition switch when the gear selector is in the park
position.
You must use special precautions with this system.

USING YOUR TEST PROBE
To operate your test probe, connect the black clip to a good chassis ground. Connect the red clip to a good
12V positive source. If the test probe is connected correctly, both the green and the red lights will be dimly
illuminated. If a positive source is probed, the red light will glow bright and the green light will go out.
If a negative source is probed, the green light will glow bright and the red light will go out.
NOTE: In most cases you should not cut your vehicle wire in two.
1. Strip back two inches of insulation on the wire from the remote starter.
2. Strip back one inch of insulation on the wire you need to connect to.
3. Separate the vehicle wire as shown. Make the separation large enough to fit the other
wire through.
4. Insert the wire(s) from the starter through the hole as shown. If two or more wires
are inserted, wrap them in opposite directions.
6. Use electrical tape to wrap. Be sure to cover the wire about two inches on either side
of the connection. First pull the wire that you have just connected along side the wire
you connected to, tape and wire tie them together. Use this method for all connections.
CAUTION: All wires must be wrapped with tape and wire tied.
5. Wrap the wire around one side then the other and finally around itself as shown.

“Type C” Door Lock Test (Most Fords, some Chryslers, GM Trucks)
Once you have located the lock and unlock wires in the vehicle using the wire color chart in this manual
or from our website, you will need to perform the same test as for the Type A system. Once you have
completed this test, and it tests the same as a Type A (as it should) you will need to cut the lock
wire in two. Now try the door lock switch in both the lock and unlock positions. The door locks should
not function, this is a Type C system. Proceed to Connecting Door Locks. NOTE: If for any reason the
doors unlock but do not lock with this wire, cut in two, this is a Type A system.
TESTING: Door Locks
There are three basic types:
“Type A” Door Lock Test (Most GMs and some Chryslers)
Probe both of your door lock wires going to the door lock switch usually located in the driver’s kick
panel. Probe the lock and the unlock wires, the test probe will show a (-) negative and the GREEN

door lock harness into the main module 5-pin plug on the front of the unit.

Once you have determined that your door locks are Type C
system, you must cut the unlock wire in two. Now you need
to determine which wire is coming from the switch and the
motor sides of each lock and unlock wire. First, test the
lock wires, press and hold the door lock switch in the
lock position. Test both lock wires, the wire that shows
(+) positive, and the RED light glows bright, will be the
switch side and the other wire will be the motor side of
this circuit. Mark these wires. Repeat these steps for the
unlock wire by pressing and holding the door lock switch
in the unlock position. The wire that shows (+) positive,
and the RED light glows bright, will be the switch side
and the other wire will be the motor side of the unlock
circuit.

NOTE: When testing the door pin wire, make sure the dome
light is on. Some vehicles, if the door is left open
for a period of time, the dome light will go out,
resulting in a false reading.
DOME LIGHT
To determine if your dome light is turned on with (+)
positive or (-) negative trigger, probe for a wire in the
driver’s side kick panel that switches polarity when the
door is closed, then opened. You can also find this wire
going to the under dash courtesy lights.
•If this wire tests (+) positive, the RED light glows bright
when the door is open (as with most Fords) and when the
door is closed, this wire tests as a (-) negative, the
GREEN light glows bright, this is (+) positive dome light.
•If this wire tests (-) negative, the GREEN light glows
bright, when the door is open and when the door is closed,
this wire tests as a (+) positive, the RED light glows
bright, this is a (-) negative dome light.
If your dome light is a (-) negative (as most others are),
connect the VIOLET wire to the dome light wire from the
16-pin harness.
If you dome light is (+) positive (most Fords) you must
add Part #775 to use this option. See diagram.
Optional part #775 required.

TRUNK RELEASE AND SLIDING VAN DOOR RELEASE (+)
Locate the trunk release or sliding van door release wire
coming from the back of the release switch. To determine
if your release is tripped by a (+) positive or a (-)
negative (most trunk release or van door release switches
are (+) positive). Press the “trunk” or “sliding door”
button, if the RED light glows bright, you have a (+)
positive release. If the GREEN light glows bright you have
a (-) negative release.
If your release is a (-) negative an
optional part #775 is required. Connect the WHITE WITH
RED STRIPE wire to the WHITE wire of the optional relay.
Attach the BLACK wire and the BLUE wire to chassis ground
and attach the YELLOW wire to the release output wire on
the vehicle. Please use figures above for correct connections.
If your release wire is a (+) positive, connect the WHITE
with RED stripe wire from the 16-pin harness to the release
wire in the vehicle’s harness.
AUXILIARY INPUT (-)
If you wish to use this starter with an aftermarket alarm,
connect the BLUE wire from the 16-pin harness to the
second or third channel (-) output of your existing alarm.
When the output is activated, a (-) signal will be supplied
to the remote starter which will start the vehicle.
